Abstract: Effective human-robot interaction relies on a robot’s ability to interpret and adapt to human behavior in real-time. My research advances human-aware robots by using social signals as inputs for understanding human internal states and models. Focusing on error-awareness, I develop a flexible, social signal-based framework that detects robot errors through natural human reactions, enabling error detection across tasks and users. To build on this, I introduce a proactive, multimodal system that actively involves users in error detection, promoting reliable and timely error detection. Through my research, I take a step towards deploying human-aware robots that can adapt to user behaviors, improving both the reliability and acceptance of robotic systems in everyday environments.

Speakers

Maia Stiber

PhD Graduate, John Hopkins University

Maia Stiber is a PhD graduate in Computer Science at Johns Hopkins University in the Intuitive Computing Lab. Her research focuses on modeling human behaviors to develop human-aware capabilities in HRI, specifically by modeling implicit human responses to unexpected robot errors for improved error detection. She has interned at Microsoft Research and holds a B.S. in Computer Science from Caltech and an M.S.E. in Computer Science from JHU.
